Chapter 511: Quicksand River(1/2)
The nine heavens are filled with clouds and mist.£∝,
The patrol guards lined up in a long line with long halberds in hand, led by a general, slowly walked by slowly in slashes.
The spring water on the rockery flows tinkles, and several colorful koi are swimming back and forth in the pool with floating petals.
In the imperial study room separated by a wall, the Jade Emperor reached out and handed Li Jing a memorial with a letter in it.
After reading the memorials and letters silently, Li Jing folded them again, bowed his body and put them back on the dragon table with his hands.
"Do you have any comments?" the Jade Emperor asked softly.
"This... I will obey Your Majesty's will."
"I'm asking you what you have to say." The Jade Emperor slowly leaned on the back of the chair, pressed the memorial with one hand, and gently tapped his fingers, and said with his head raised: "I want rain on Huaguo Mountain, I'll satisfy him. I want two peaches, and I'll satisfy him too. This time, he wants four peaches and nine-toothed rakes. Do you think I should still satisfy him?"
Li Jing bent slightly and looked at the Jade Emperor carefully without saying a word.
Time just passed quietly.
After a long time, the Jade Emperor smiled and sighed, "It seems that there is no other way if he is not satisfied with it. This demon monkey... I don't have the right to give peaches at will. He wants a few monsters, but he has to give a few more people, and the Heavenly Court has to give them... Hahaha. If this continues, the Heavenly Court's treasury will probably become his treasury and let him ask for it."
Li Jing slowly lowered his head and still said nothing.
The Jade Emperor frowned, pursed his lips and thought for a while, and said, "You think, is it possible to lead this disaster to another place?"
Li Jing bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this disaster is going westward."
"What about before he arrives in the West? Could it be that I will try my best to cooperate with him?"
"If this...it's really not possible. Your Majesty can also consider the Master Subhuti. The Three Pure Ones will not take action. People in the Taoist sect are afraid of involving the Heavenly Court. According to my opinion, only Master Subhuti is the most suitable. After all, he is also the master of the Monkey. Even if he can't solve it, he will not take his anger."
The Jade Emperor glanced at Li Jing indifferently and asked softly: "Didn't you send him a letter last time?"
"You can go again."
Hearing this, the Jade Emperor just shook his head helplessly and smiled helplessly.
The Jade Emperor said he was in charge of the Three Realms, but in the eyes of these powerful people, he was nothing. Not to mention summoning him or her, even if he went there himself, he might even be rejected, and he had to force himself to smile and not complain.
The rebuilt Heavenly Court is actually weaker than 650 years ago.
The Heavenly Court 650 years ago. Although the Jade Emperor also surrendered to the Three Pure Ones, he did not need to bow down to Zhen Yuanzi and Subhuti. He did not need to look at the face of the Great Leiyin Temple. The earth immortals in the mortal world, the Yama in the underworld, and the Dragon King in the four seas all followed the Jade Emperor's order.
What about now?
After the reconstruction, Zhen Yuanzi and Subhuti participated, which means that the original three "bos" suddenly became five. Not only that, the Western Leiyin Temple is powerful and the Heavenly Court takes a slightly larger action, which requires multiple tests. Although Buddhism rarely intervenes, if it really intervenes, the Heavenly Court will be unable to move forward.
As for the monsters in the mortal world, although the heroes are in power, they are not as good as before the rise of Huaguo Mountain. If they can't attack them, they will directly paralyze the control of the entire mortal world.
Although the Dragon King of the Four Seas still surrendered to the Heavenly Court, he has long since been following the orders.
Yan Luo in the underworld was directly affiliated with the Great Leiyin Temple. Half of the Heavenly Court's orders would be useless when they arrived in the underworld.
Erlang Shen at Guanjiangkou listened to the imperial edict of the Heavenly Court when he was happy, and pretended not to see it when he was unhappy. In this case, the Jade Emperor did not dare to hold Erlang Shen accountable, and did not dare to lose all kinds of rewards during festivals. After all, the entire situation in the Southern Continent must be maintained by Erlang Shen.
Nowadays, if there is anything better than before, it is probably because there are more external troubles. Once there are more external troubles, there will naturally be fewer internal troubles, and the Jade Emperor's authority has naturally been strengthened invisibly. Unfortunately, this goodness cannot make up for the overall decline in the strength of the Heavenly Court.
"Go to write again... OK, there is no way to defeat it." Slowly closing your eyes, the Jade Emperor sighed softly: "I will leave this matter to you. If you need it, I can also visit the Patriarch Subhuti in person."
"No." Li Jing bowed his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "The peaches and the nine-toothed rake..."
"Send it to him." After a slight pause, the Jade Emperor instructed again: "But it's better to drag it up, don't seem to be the Heavenly Court really obeying him."
"promise!"
...
Carrying the Jade Emperor's imperial edict, Li Jing stepped out of the imperial study, took two soldiers and guards through the long corridor, and came to the small airport exclusive to Lingxiao Palace.
The soldiers and generals of the South Heaven Gate who had been waiting there saluted one after another, and the Heavenly King of the Kingdom was also among them.
Before the king of the country could speak, Li Jing winked at him and said, "Let's talk about it when you get on the ship."
The battleship set sail.
After sitting in the cabin, Li Jing stepped back and left, leaving only the king of the king of the country.
Looking through the porthole in the direction of Lingxiao Palace, Li Jing asked in a low voice: "Where is that monster monkey?"
The king of the country, the king of the country, whispered: "I have left Gaolaozhuang, passed Huangfengling, and will soon arrive at Liusha River."
"I'm about to enter the territory of Xiniu Hezhou, it's quite fast. Are there Buddhists following me?"
"When I was in Gao Laozhuang, I still didn't know it now. The demon monkey's perception was too broad, and the Buddhists attacked them all, so we couldn't investigate them with great fanfare, so..."
Li Jing nodded, took a deep breath, and turned around and sat on the wooden chair beside him.
The Heavenly King of the Kingdom of Chi followed closely and whispered: "By the way, Heavenly King, the Third Prince hurried to Kunlun Mountain and just came back. I think that Taiyi Zhenren should have already known about the Demon Monkey and Xuanzang's journey to the west."
Li Jing was slightly stunned, looked at the King of the Kingdom of Chi, and smiled and said, "I understand. Don't say anything about this. They know. Let's pretend not to know. Find a chance to reveal the location of the demon monkey to Nezha."
"No." The Heavenly King of Chi responded. After hesitating for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "Heavenly King, this matter is leaked, and something will happen at that time."
"There is no way to cause trouble." Li Jing slowly closed his eyes and said slowly: "Buddhist, Taoist, Jade Emperor, we can only pretend to be stupid when we are too smart. We are too serious and will have more trouble in the future. By then, it will be more than just a business."
"Abide by the teachings of the Heavenly King."
In the clouds and mist, the battleship slowly moved towards the Nantianmen.
...
The northwestern border area of the Southern Zhanbu Continent.
The north wind whistled past with the remaining snow, and the snow on the branches fell down with a "thump", forming a small snow pile on the roadside.
The stretching mountains have long turned into a vast white area. Any place can be cut into a pit several inches deep by stepping on it.
The little white dragon holding the horse couldn't help but shivered.
Lu Liuguai, who was standing beside him, smiled teasingly: "You are worse than a horse."
"It has the blessing of the Great Sage, do I have it?"
"Then can't you bless yourself?"
The little white dragon looked up at the monkey walking in front, turned his face to look at Xuanzang who was walking beside him with a stick. He looked back at Tianpeng that fell far behind, and said angrily: "Don't you know how to use magic tricks indiscriminately. Will the heavenly tribulation come early? The Great Sage is a person who has passed the heavenly tribulation. Can we compare with us?"
Lu Liuguai gave him a blank look and accelerated his pace and followed the monkey.
At this time, it had been five months since the group bid farewell to Gao Taigong's family and left Gao Laozhuang, but the peaches that were sent from Heaven had not been delivered yet, so the little white dragon would linger on the ground whenever he had time.
Although he had encountered several waves of monsters and earth immortals in these five months, in most cases, as long as Lu Liu turned around, the other party would make way tactfully.
After 650 years of time, most of the new monsters and earth immortals now do not recognize monkeys, and their understanding of monkeys is limited to those legends that are both true and false. Even if monkeys stand in front of them, they cannot recognize them, and secondly, they may not believe that the Monkey King, who has been missing for hundreds of years, will suddenly appear in front of them. What is even more likely to be that the monkey king who mistakes the monkey monster and uses stick weapons.
In contrast, the name of Lu Liuguai, one of the major forces of the demon clan, seems more practical. Unless it has a direct relationship with several demon kings, including the Bull Demon King and the Nine-Headed Insect, if you see Lu Liuguai, you will have to give him some thin faces.
After catching up with the monkey's footsteps, Lu Liuguai bowed his hand and whispered: "Sage, the old minister may have to leave for a while."
"Leave?" The monkey walked step by step with the golden cudgel and asked softly: "Where to go?"
"I have to go back. The adopted son of the old minister passed a message saying that he had a conflict with the people of the Bull Demon King and needed the old minister to deal with it."
"Does Bull Demon King know that you are with me?"
"The old minister didn't let someone tell me...but, maybe I know."
"I know that I'm still in conflict with your people?" The monkey snorted and sighed slowly, "Okay, it's okay for you to go back. When I saw the Bull Demon King, I said I'll ask you to say hello to me."
"this……"
Turning his face sideways, the monkey added with a smile: "Then come back and tell me what his face looks like."
Lu Liuguai hurriedly bowed and said, "The old minister understands."
Before he finished speaking, the monkey suddenly accelerated his pace and rushed forward. Everyone behind him could not help but be stunned, looking at each other one by one, and also speeding up their pace.
After running fifty feet away, the monkey stopped and looked at it from a distance. The others quickly followed.
Standing on the cliff, they could clearly see that ten miles away was a vast ocean. In other words, it was a huge river that seemed to be a vast ocean, crossing the entire continent.
The water in the river was as yellow as sand, but it was still rushing in the ice and snow, without any intention of freezing.
"It's the Liusha River." Tianpeng, who was standing at the end, whispered.
The monkey slowly looked back at him.
Along the way, Tianpeng maintained a human appearance and did not show his body as a pig. He still seemed to be somewhat resistant to the identity of the demon.
Although under Xuanzang's clever words, he was forced to accept the journey west, but he was always at the end and did not talk to others very much, especially to monkeys.
The only exception is probably Xuanzang. Compared with the others here, he is probably the only one who is interested in Xuanzang's way of savior and various Buddhist studies.
Taking a deep breath, Tianpeng whispered: "Liusha River, known as 800 miles wide, separates Xiniu Hezhou and Nanzhanbu Continent. There are no ships on the surface of the river. Ordinary people cannot travel even if there are ships."
"Hey, we are not ordinary people." Xiao Bailong smiled, turned his head and looked at the monkey beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Sage, didn't you walk there? How did you get there?"
The monkey raised his head and said, "I floated over with the wooden barrel in my arms. I have been floating for several days. The river is not eight hundred miles long, and it is all exaggerated. I know this."
After saying that, the monkey turned around and walked down the mountain road step by step.
"Drift... floated over?" The little white dragon turned around and looked at the endless river, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly: "Can you float over with a wooden barrel in this place?"
"Go quickly." The monkey turned around and shouted at everyone, "There should be some things waiting by the Quicksand River."
